Espace Solidarité Habitat

Welcoming and counselling the inadequately housed in Ile-de-France

07/05/2009

Espace Solidarité Habitat receives and counsels the inadequately housed in the Ile-de-France region.

This space opened its doors in September 2000 to welcome, guide and support those living in inadequate housing conditions in the Ile-de-France region.

Every year, teams of ESH volunteers and employees counsel more than 2,000 households in difficulty.

Espace Solidarité Habitat especially follows up on people living in unfit or indecent lodgings or guest rooms, in situations involving eviction from a rental unit and also those who believe they are being discriminated against in their access to housing.

ESH provides legal support and gives advice on searching for housing.

The year 2007 saw the passing of legislation of the DALO housing rights law. ESH organises morning training sessions for social workers, employees and volunteers of associations that fight against exclusion and for access to law (contact ESH by e-mail for an invitation to the next morning training session).

Our partnership associations

Our partnerships with associations and/or social housing organisations have resulted in:

Ensuring that obsolete buildings, often occupied for many years, comply with safety standards so as to make certain that occupants are safe in their dwellings.
Since 2007 the association “Collectif Hébergement Varois” has organised workshops on restoring deteriorated dwellings in the old neighbourhoods of Seyne-sur-Mer and Toulon.
Made-to-measure solutions adapted for marginalised people.
Promotion of cultural neighbourhood projects that contribute to the acceptance of inhabitants and improved living conditions for them: action against inadequate housing also means action against substandard living conditions.

Funding of our projects

Our funding of community projects allows inhabitants to feel safe in their dwellings and improve their living conditions.

The Foundation mainly finances work that needs to be done to have electricity and heating systems comply with safety standards and to repair roofing, to enable the inhabitants to continue to live safely in their dwellings while waiting for them to be completely restored.

Whenever possible, the Foundation favours using renewable energy.

Our emergency funds

Our emergency funds for exceptional situations are used to help disaster victims in France and abroad.

Climatic and industrial catastrophes, humanitarian disasters: any emergency situations that require immediate aid and longer term assistance, since housing is often most affected as a consequence.

Since 1999, the Foundation has had an emergency fund it can use to directly help the most vulnerable people, who very often find themselves in the most precarious situations following a catastrophe.
